Chapter 253: The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings
The success or failure of a person depends not only on a person's ability, but also on whether the person has a firm heart and a firm belief. Without a strong enough heart, even if this person has a genius, it is inevitable that he will eventually give up halfway and give up all his achievements. As long as you identify one thing, then you must go on firmly, no matter what obstacles you encounter in the future, so that you can succeed step by step.
The night was deep, quiet, so quiet that it seemed to be able to reach the smiling whispers of the sleeping people, and the snoring full of exhaustion. Time seemed to pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a day passed.
In the faint moonlight, a black figure slowly slipped into the hall of the Crescent Moon Inn, and hid in the dark corner, without movement for a long time, as if he was observing and listening. Cautious people tend to live longer than others, especially in today's rivers and lakes.
It didn't take long for the black shadow to slowly come out of the corner, and then there was a faint, strange sound in his mouth, and then I saw another black shadow slowly slip in through the doorway, followed by the third, the fourth, and the fifth...... There were thirty or forty of them, and almost a corner of the hall was filled.
Then, one of them waved his arm lightly, and saw thirty or forty people quickly go up the stairs, and the soldiers divided into two ways, one left and one right, touched the rooms on both sides of the second floor, all of them were bent over, holding weapons in their hands, although they were not unsheathed, but they could already feel the hidden murderous aura, it seemed that they should often kill, and even kill people as a career.
Soon, the group of people stood outside the window of their chosen room, took out a bamboo pipe to the nearest room, blew something into the room, and then touched into one room after another. This group of people seems to be very shrewd, and the white smoke spewing out of those bamboo pipes should be the legendary incense, which is the most indiscriminate means on the rivers and lakes.
Soon, however, everyone withdrew as quickly as possible, as if they had been frightened in some way. Everyone quickly gathered in the center of the hall, and questioned each other about what they had discovered, and the result was all the same, every room was empty! There was still laughter and scolding here before dark, but now there was no one, and it was an empty city.
"No, you've got it!" said one of them, exclaiming in a low voice, and hurriedly turned around and walked briskly outside. But as soon as he turned around, he saw that the door had been blocked by someone, and a man shrouded in black, with only a pair of eyes exposed, quietly blocked there, holding a dark and narrow knife in his hand, although he did not speak, but a momentum of self-sacrifice had instantly spread through the hall.
"Go up to the second floor!" shouted the other, leaping up to the second floor and rushing to the nearest window. Seeing someone taking the lead, someone in the crowd had already begun to follow suit, jumping up to the second floor and rushing to the other windows.
Several people pushed open the window almost at the same time, and one leg had already stepped out. But at this moment, suddenly a few screams came, and then I saw several black shadows who had already stepped out on one leg involuntarily flew backwards, smashed the railing on the second floor, and fell heavily to the ground.
And their legs, which had already stepped out, were cut off in unison! Blood was all over the ground, and the wails continued to echo in the empty hall, and they could be heard very clearly in the dark night.
The remaining dark shadows watched in horror at the scene in front of them, their eyes widened, not knowing what was happening. Immediately afterward, I saw black figures dressed in black through the broken windows, but their faces were all veiled, and they all held a long knife in their hands. Shadow!
Just when the dark shadows gathered in the center of the hall didn't know what to do, the entire Crescent Moon Inn suddenly became brightly lit, and all the candles that had been extinguished were also cool.
After their eyes adjusted to the sudden light, all the black shadows who had rushed in all gasped, because next to the several giant candles in the hall, there were already several black-clothed people who appeared at an unknown time, the candles they lit.
And what made them even more terrifying was that several people with veiled faces were already standing in their own crowd, no one knew when these elusive men in black had mixed in, the only possibility was at the same time as they had just been withdrawn from the upper floor.
Shadows, elusive shadows.
One of the black shadows seemed to be too frightened, and the moment the light turned on, he couldn't help but pull out the weapon in his hand and slash at the black-clothed man who was closest to him!
"Don't move!" shouted someone in the shadows, but it was too late, for his men were dead and could not swing a second sword.
At the moment when the black shadow swung the knife, the shadow standing in the crowd had already drawn his knife like lightning, and then swung it out like lightning, cutting off the black shadow's neck with a knife, and the blood instantly splattered, swallowing the last breath of this life. It's the same knife, but it's a world of difference, and the fragile one has a little pity.
The rest of the black shadows didn't dare to move, and they all looked extremely nervous, and their minds went blank. In fact, with their usual strength, they are not scared like this, maybe everything happened too suddenly, and it was too unexpected. This is obviously a trap, a trap to wait for.
"Who sent you?"
A hoarse and low voice sounded faintly, coming from the staircase on the second floor, with a hint of contempt and coldness in his tone.
Looking up, a person shrouded in a black-clothed cloak was standing at the top of the stairs at this time, coldly looking at the group of uninvited guests standing in the center of the hall, there was no expression on his face, only a trace of killing intent that was difficult to hide. This person is none other than Wuxin. I don't know if he's always been here, or if he's just arrived.
No one accosted them, and it didn't seem that no one was planning to betray their master, but the look of panic between the eyebrows had betrayed them, and it was clear that they were panicking.
"If anyone says it, I can open the net. Wuxin spoke again, this time louder, as if he was worried that someone wouldn't be able to hear.
There was finally movement in the crowd, and only a voice said slowly: "Can you really let us go?" as if asking, but it seemed to be questioning ridicule.
Wuxin just shook his head lightly, and then said lightly: "No, but you can let the door choose how to die." This is a sentence that sounds a little ridiculous and a little helpless, but soon some people understand the meaning behind this sentence, and eventually some people begin to regret that they were not the first to jump out and confess everything.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, there are so many of us, they can't stop us, even if they are desperate, they have to rush out, and they can live one by one!" A voice sounded in the dark crowd again, giving a glimmer of hope to those who were already on the verge of despair.
Immediately afterwards, someone suddenly started to move, and without any warning, he slashed directly at a shadow member who was mixed in the crowd and was closest to him!
At the same time, the shadows mixed in the crowd also moved, and a few people standing next to the giant candle, seven or eight long knives, without a trace of emotion, wantonly flew up and down in the crowd, and there were screams and blood splashes.
The same black clothes, the same knife in the hand, but the strength is far from above the same level, and the black-clothed killers continue to fall. The hall of the Crescent Inn has once again become a slaughter field, and the ground of the Crescent Inn has once again been washed by blood.
Wuxin looked at the shadow of one enemy and ten in the crowd, and couldn't help but nod secretly, since they had cultivated the Qin family's sword technique, their strength seemed to have improved a lot, and they were even more fierce and crazy than before.
In a restaurant opposite the Crescent Inn, a figure stood quietly in front of the window of a room without a trace of light, looking at the battle that was doomed from the beginning in the brightly lit Crescent Inn hall opposite without blinking, and the figure standing on the railing on the second floor, looking at each other coldly, frowning slightly.
"Is it true that you have to kill people when you are in the rivers and lakes? Is it true that only killing people can solve the problem?" the figure standing in front of the window suddenly said slowly, as if talking to himself, as if asking.
A white robe was hidden under a black cloak, and the long flowing hair could not hide the beautiful face, but at this time, there was a trace of struggle on this beautiful face, as if there was a trace of unbearability and a trace of distress. This person is none other than Ruyi. It seems that the longer she stays with Wuxin, the more she begins to like black.
"That's because you haven't really understood what he's going through, what he's facing, and maybe one day you'll become him and you won't think like that. A voice sounded from behind Ruyi, and a person with a folding fan in his hand and a stern face stood in the dark, it was none other than Nangong Chu.
They came here quietly after nightfall, because they had already received the news from Furong Hall that the enemy's killer had rushed to Crescent Moon Town, and they didn't want Ruyi to be in unnecessary danger, and they didn't want her to see all this, so they let Nangong Chu stay in this restaurant with Ruyi. And this room was already packed with enough silver in two days, just for today.
No one cares more about Ruyi than Wuxin, even Nangong Chu, who is full of affection, can't do it like Wuxin, because Wuxin has lost everything he can lose, and there is not much left of what he has, so he knows how to cherish it more than ordinary people.
This is also why it took him so long to accept Ruyi, and he himself has never said anything to anyone about the lovesickness he suffered before, especially Ruyi. He only knew that from the moment he accepted Ruyi, he wanted to give her happiness, and he didn't want to put a pair of shackles on her.
However, there will always be people who challenge his bottom line again and again, which is why his hatred is so deep and seems ruthless, but in fact, he is just proving that no one wants to try to take away anything he cares about from his side again......
